MOVING INFORMATION: Learning Centre brings university library services under one roof
The building designed by Alvar Aalto and completed in 1970 will now reopen as Aalto University’s new Learning Centre. The building is modernised during refurbishment in full appreciation of its architectural heritage to meet the requirements of customers and staff.
